Vugermint Spending

This comic was not a fun one to draw. Little story. The original panel two was much more detailed, giving us a more clear view of the computer tech littered about the hideout. I had a better drawing of Hi-Tech, and a different composition. I went to import a color palette image to work from, and hit the wrong option, wiping out the completed panel with no way to recover it, and I had to redraw it with a simpler composition to keep the strip on schedule. If you work digitally, save often. Don’t forget. Don’t make the same mistake I did that dark, unforgiving Saturday afternoon.

Oh, it’s Monday, too, so there’s a new Featured Comic. This time it’s Xylobone Tomes, a fantasy comic about the Grim Reaper and his assistant. I became a big fan of this one during the last Spiderforest application round, and I’m thrilled to have it as a part of the collective. Give it a try! The linework is gorgeous.

The upside of staying up late Sunday night; catching the latest Supervillainous ASAP!

I’m surprised Claw ever paid taxes, though I suppose if he did (and did it just right) it might explain some “vugermint” issues that allow him to later skate through things where you’d swear he was going to get nailed. Of course, having a master sorcerer for your lawyer is also quite good, but the vugermint itself probably has several lawyers that could at least have done a better job (probably by being supers themselves) than the one that actually tried that case many, many strips ago.

Also a bit random, but can we make requests for the art incentive on the voting? Seeing a Pokémon that is not Snorlax makes me want to see a Snorlax. XD

*claps* Yay Snorlax! XD Now to see if I can use this to entice more readers. The story should be good enough, but with everyone and an exiled prince from Nigeria who will gladly share his wealth with you if only you will send him the $2000 he needs to access it (for some reason) trying to convince people to read different things, every additional incentive helps. 😉

and THIS is why I support Hulk during the Marvel Civil war. Who in there right minds thinks its a good idea to declare de facto WAR against a bunch of guys who think Robbing banks is a better use of their time then a 9 to 5.

Depends on how much bank robbing is being done and what else *besides* bank robbing is going on. A legitimate case could be made that if things were going too far then the government wouldn’t be doing it’s job if it *didn’t* step in and launch such a war. Yeah, a declaration of martial law before doing something like this to settle the matter would probably be the proper way to go, but a government’s right to exist is predicated on it’s ability to protect it’s people and if the supers weren’t doing an adequate job then the government who didn’t step in to protect it’s citizens would forfeit that particular right.

That said, we still don’t have enough information to know what is going on quite yet, so I’m inclined to wait for few more shoes to drop. ^_^

A kind of joke in the Fandom at the time was that it didn’t matter if you supported Iron Man or Captain America in the war cause when Hulk got back EVERYBODY was going down. Which was proven right in World War Hulk event when Hulk returned and took everyone down. As for why I referenced the Civil war story line its because this thing seems just like the kinda chowder headed thinking that CAUSED the war. “A dangerous and very prone to violence group? lets try to kill them all and give these crazed lunatics a reason to work together”
